At some point, she had to find a way to appease him.

“Twenty thousand? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

The man let out a sinister Laugh, stepping forward in a threatening manner.

"You won't hand over the money until I teach you a lesson, huh?"

Maggie's heart raced nervously as she observed the dangerous aura emanating from the man.

At that moment, Jeffry, who had positioned himself in front of Maggie, spoke up.

“So, what's your plan? Every citizen is protected by the law. Are you prepared to face the consequences?"

The man questioned, “Are you threatening me?"

“No, but I've recorded everything you said to my friend just now. If anything happens to her, the police will be the first to suspect you,"

Jeffry stated calmly, shaking his phone in front of the man's face.

It seemed to have an effect as the man's expression changed.

Maggie hastily seized the opportunity.

“Twenty thousand is more than sufficient. If this goes to court, you won't receive as much money.”

The man regarded Maggie, seemingly processing their words.

Jeffry glanced back at Maggie and shook his head.

“Twenty thousand is still being generous. I believe five thousand will do!"

“What? Five thousand? What the hell..."

“If you're not satisfied with this amount, then we'll let the court decide," Jeffry declared, pulling Maggie away.

“Maggie, Let's go."

Maggie had just taken a couple of steps forward when she heard Johnny's voice call out from behind her.

“Stop!

Jeffry glanced at Maggie before turning to Look at Johnny.
